In this case, defense against a gun.

Never bring a shot gun to a tire iron fight.

Witnesses told police the homeowner scuffled with the intruder before striking him in the head with a tire iron. The suspected intruder was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Yeah, they can't do much for you at the hospital when you leave half your brain on someone's welcome mat.

Couldn’t have been a GM tire iron. Must have been Ford tough.

When this is over, the homeowner needs the perp's shotgun.

Spoils of war and all that. Plus, the next time, he won't have to use a tire iron.

One of Arkansas’ many martial arts innovations: Tire Iron Fu. Others include Baseball Bat Fu, Golf Club Fu, and for the ladies, Cast Iron Skillet Fu.

parsy, who says Arkansas is a poor, but creative State

Up north they call them crow bars! When i moved south years ago had to get used to calling the tool a tire iron. In any event it certainly ‘lugged a nut’ albeit in an alternative green carbonless manner.

Hah! The comments on the news service story....

Was the tire iron a single hitter or 4-way? A carbine or sniper iron?

In Chicago, we call em tire irons also. They are quite handy, but the smart city driver keeps his under the driver’s seat and not in the trunk, where it will do him no good in a real roadside emergency :)

Something tells me this guy didn’t have a lot of brains in the first place. Did he not know how to operate the shotgun? I mean, how does a guy wielding a tire iron get close enough to a guy wielding a shotgun to connect the tire iron with the shotgun-wielder’s head?

Especially if you don't know how to work the shotgun . . .

Knowledge of the terrain is often more important than superior firepower.

And yet, odd enough, Ted Kennedy seems to do just fine.
